were individual, $2.75; two party,
$2.25; trunk, $4^. rural, $2.50 and extension, 75 cents.
Free Service Continued
Free service was continued to Canton, HaVtville and Louisville. On September 1, 1925 a rate increase was requested of the Utilities comminsion
which was granted. This raised the
prices to the following: individual
business, $6.50; two party business,
$5.50; trunk, $9.75; rural, $3.50, and
extension $1.50. Residential, individual, $3.50; two party, $2.75; four party,
$2.25; trunk, $5.25; rural, $2.50 and
extension, $1.
When this new rate was submitted
to the commission the company was
permitted to collect the rate without
being forced to post bond as the commission felt that rate was reasonable
and no further consideration was given
the matter. Additional free service
was extended to include Magnolia and
Waynesburg.
Another factor which enters the
present situation was the fact that under the Pence law now repealed, utilities could ask for a rate increase,
post bond and collect the new rate
until a hearing was held to determine
if it were justifiable. North Canton's
rate was determined reasonable but
not placed in the original case.
It was further determined that
North Canton receives the same service as Canton only at a lower rate.
Comparison shows a business phone
rate in North Canton at $6.50 and
Canton $9 and a trunk in North Canton is $9.75 and in Canton $13.50.
Consequently North Canton subscribers are not included in the present refund since their rate was never
included in the original case in which
refunds are now' being ordered.

STUDY GROUP TO MEET
Grange Hall Used As Classroom
Catches Fire Saturday
North Canton and Coventry fire departments were summoned to Greensburg shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday
morning to battle a fire in the Richland Gi-ange hall that was being used
as a classroom for the second grade
of the township schools.
The blaze apparently started from
a small fire made by the janitor to
keep the building warm over the
week-end and in some way set the
floor and inside walls ablaze. By the
time the fire departments reached the
scene the rear portion of the building
was in flames.
Firemen were forced to chop holes
in the rear walls in order to insert
hoses between 'the studdings to reach
the fire which had worked its way almost to the roof. As quickly as one
section was put out smoke would begin seeping through sideboards somewhere else to be followed a few moments later by flame. After a half
hour the blaze was finally brought
under control.
Considerable damage resulted from
water and the holes chopped into the
sidewalls.
Temporary class rooms were made
early this week in the basement of
the Evangelical church and the committees of the Grange and school will
meet today (Wednesday) to make
further arrangements.
Boys and girls of the community
initiated the new craft shop located in
the Community building last Saturday
morning. The new silop is located in
the east room of the boys' and girls'
lobby and has been fenced off to allow
uninterrupted work.
The entire lobby;,has been rearranged to allow more rooms for games
and to make room f oj the shop. Those
attending Saturday j worked on bead
rings and this week ]vill take up metal
tapping.
Every type of craft work will be
covered including leather work, bead
work, woodburning, wood carving,
model airplanes, linoleum block printing, and soap carving. After the
crafts are further along, it is planned
to take up a little rug weaving and
with eventual hope of being able to go
into wood inlay work.
Can Work Anytime
"Boys and girls are free to come
up and work at any time," stated Jack
Coughlin under whose supervision the
work will be done. "We'll have sessions every Saturday morning at 9:30
and each week a new idea will be
carried out."
The craft store room will have a
complete line of stock that will be
sold practically at cost. Gra-Y is in
charge of the stock room. Later on as
more and more take part and finished
products are turned out display cases
will be set up in the lobby to exhibit
the work being done.
"Home study'will also be an important part of the program," Coughlin said. "With the boys and girls
studying at home, $hen coming up
here and seeing how its done, they'll
be enabled to take some of the material home and work there."
Craft work was started on a large
scale early last summer and met with
such success that it was decided to
bring the shop indoors during the
winter months.

Engineers to Meet

a member of the American Society of
Heating and Ventilating, Cleveland
Engineering society, Professional Engineers and American .Society of Refrigeration Engineers.

TO SHOW PICTURES
Guy Bingham, nationally known
sales promolor and public speaker addressed the Rotary club at their
Thursday evening meeting on "Americanism."
Superintendent R. E. Trachsel introduced the speaker stating that for
the past five years Mr. Bingham has
been speaking to high school pupils
bringing them a message that molds
character and influences their lives.
The speaker stated that four basic
problems confront American civilization today: Biological, social, economic, and political.
"America is running down hill intellectually five percent due to birth
control in the high better class," Mr.
Bingham said. "America's hope is in
its rural population, where biologically
it is running about the same. Democracy must have its power in ruling."
Crime Costs 15 Billion
Turning to tht social side the speaker revealed that crime is costing
America around 15 billion dollars.
Comparing larger cities of the world
relative to crime it was revealed that
in London there were six murders and
42 robberies while in New York there
were 1,094 murders and 1,702 robberies. Toronto had four murdtrs and
44 robberies while Detroit had 164
murders and 615 robberies.
The difference in the crime rate can
be laid to the courts he contended
because a person sommitting a crime
in England or Canada is convicted and
punished within three weeks time. In
America trial is delayed and drawn
out for months and sometimes even
years and that a life sentence means
only ten years with parole and freedom to continue a criminal life at the
end of that period.
"We are too lenient in our courts
and our parole boards are responsible
for hardened criminals going free after a few years in prison," Mr. Bingham stated. "Seventy percent of
crime is committed by youth between
tlie ages of 17 and 22.
On the economic side Mr.. Bingham
indorsed the city manager form of
government and cited conditions in
Cincinnati and Saginaw, Mich., where
this form of government has lowered
taxes, made police, fire, etc.,. conditions the finest in the country.
Menace Is Communism
Scanning the labor problem Mr.
Bingham feels that communism is
America's greatest menace.
"We say it can't happen here," he
said, "but it is happening in every
large city, college and wherever it
can get a footing. We must labor for
the ideals' of Americanism. Moral integrity, education and Christian service are the noble virtues and high
ideals that we must aspire and work
for."
Mr. Bingham closed his address with
these memorable words:
As We Think We Travel
We are today where our thoughts
have brought us.
We will be tomorrow where our
thoughts take us.
We realize the vision (not the idle
wish) of our hearts, be it base
or beautiful, for we will always
gravitate toward that which we
secretly most love.
We will receive that which w„e earn,
no more, no less. '
Whatever our present environment
may be we will fall, remain or
rise, according to our vision,
our ideal.
We will become as big or as small as
a people, as our dominant aspiration.

Mr. Hammond revealed that the
band has gone professional through
the making of records Tuesday of the
numbers to be played in the concert.

Hartville Residents
in Auto Accident
Five Women Injured Enroute
To Basketball Game
Five Hartville residents figured in
a serious automobile accident last
Tuesday evening on the Canton-Hart-
ville road near the Edgewood golf
course.
Mrs. C. J. Schuck, the most seriously injured is in Mercy hospital and
reported improving. She suffered a
broken letr, arm and shoulder when
she was crushed against the front o±
the car. Her daughter, Mrs. Everett
Deardorff, driver of the/ car had her
front teeth knocked out,and received
serious cuts on her face.
The three passengers in the rear
seat, Miss Frances Deardorff, Miss
Edna Maurer and Mrs. Delia Maurer
were thrown against the front seat
and badly bruised and shaken up. All
of them were able to return to their
homes after treated, with the exception of Mrs. Schuck.
The party was enroute to attend the
basketball garae*ioA. -:-B&iJe6{ti£e&ect then
wcic i.n' n_ £br'busine°. lines:
individual $4 per month- ' /.irty
lines, $3.50 per month; trunk lines,
$6 per month; rural business lines,
$3.50 per month; and extensions,
$1.25. On resident phones the rates
were individual, $2.75; two party,
$2.25; trunk, $4^. rural, $2.50 and extension, 75 cents.
Free Service Continued
Free service was continued to Canton, HaVtville and Louisville. On September 1, 1925 a rate increase was requested of the Utilities comminsion
which was granted. This raised the
prices to the following: individual
business, $6.50; two party business,
$5.50; trunk, $9.75; rural, $3.50, and
extension $1.50. Residential, individual, $3.50; two party, $2.75; four party,
$2.25; trunk, $5.25; rural, $2.50 and
extension, $1.
When this new rate was submitted
to the commission the company was
permitted to collect the rate without
being forced to post bond as the commission felt that rate was reasonable
and no further consideration was given
the matter. Additional free service
was extended to include Magnolia and
Waynesburg.
Another factor which enters the
present situation was the fact that under the Pence law now repealed, utilities could ask for a rate increase,
post bond and collect the new rate
until a hearing was held to determine
if it were justifiable. North Canton's
rate was determined reasonable but
not placed in the original case.
It was further determined that
North Canton receives the same service as Canton only at a lower rate.
Comparison shows a business phone
rate in North Canton at $6.50 and
Canton $9 and a trunk in North Canton is $9.75 and in Canton $13.50.
Consequently North Canton subscribers are not included in the present refund since their rate was never
included in the original case in which
refunds are now' being ordered.

STUDY GROUP TO MEET
Grange Hall Used As Classroom
Catches Fire Saturday
North Canton and Coventry fire departments were summoned to Greensburg shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday
morning to battle a fire in the Richland Gi-ange hall that was being used
as a classroom for the second grade
of the township schools.
The blaze apparently started from
a small fire made by the janitor to
keep the building warm over the
week-end and in some way set the
floor and inside walls ablaze. By the
time the fire departments reached the
scene the rear portion of the building
was in flames.
Firemen were forced to chop holes
in the rear walls in order to insert
hoses between 'the studdings to reach
the fire which had worked its way almost to the roof. As quickly as one
section was put out smoke would begin seeping through sideboards somewhere else to be followed a few moments later by flame. After a half
hour the blaze was finally brought
under control.
Considerable damage resulted from
water and the holes chopped into the
sidewalls.
Temporary class rooms were made
early this week in the basement of
the Evangelical church and the committees of the Grange and school will
meet today (Wednesday) to make
further arrangements.
Boys and girls of the community
initiated the new craft shop located in
the Community building last Saturday
morning. The new silop is located in
the east room of the boys' and girls'
lobby and has been fenced off to allow
uninterrupted work.
The entire lobby;,has been rearranged to allow more rooms for games
and to make room f oj the shop. Those
attending Saturday j worked on bead
rings and this week ]vill take up metal
tapping.
Every type of craft work will be
covered including leather work, bead
work, woodburning, wood carving,
model airplanes, linoleum block printing, and soap carving. After the
crafts are further along, it is planned
to take up a little rug weaving and
with eventual hope of being able to go
into wood inlay work.
Can Work Anytime
"Boys and girls are free to come
up and work at any time," stated Jack
Coughlin under whose supervision the
work will be done. "We'll have sessions every Saturday morning at 9:30
and each week a new idea will be
carried out."
The craft store room will have a
complete line of stock that will be
sold practically at cost. Gra-Y is in
charge of the stock room. Later on as
more and more take part and finished
products are turned out display cases
will be set up in the lobby to exhibit
the work being done.
"Home study'will also be an important part of the program," Coughlin said. "With the boys and girls
studying at home, $hen coming up
here and seeing how its done, they'll
be enabled to take some of the material home and work there."
Craft work was started on a large
scale early last summer and met with
such success that it was decided to
bring the shop indoors during the
winter months.

a member of the American Society of
Heating and Ventilating, Cleveland
Engineering society, Professional Engineers and American .Society of Refrigeration Engineers.

Hoover company.
TO SHOW PICTURES
Guy Bingham, nationally known
sales promolor and public speaker addressed the Rotary club at their
Thursday evening meeting on "Americanism."
Superintendent R. E. Trachsel introduced the speaker stating that for
the past five years Mr. Bingham has
been speaking to high school pupils
bringing them a message that molds
character and influences their lives.
The speaker stated that four basic
problems confront American civilization today: Biological, social, economic, and political.
"America is running down hill intellectually five percent due to birth
control in the high better class," Mr.
Bingham said. "America's hope is in
its rural population, where biologically
it is running about the same. Democracy must have its power in ruling."
Crime Costs 15 Billion
Turning to tht social side the speaker revealed that crime is costing
America around 15 billion dollars.
Comparing larger cities of the world
relative to crime it was revealed that
in London there were six murders and
42 robberies while in New York there
were 1,094 murders and 1,702 robberies. Toronto had four murdtrs and
44 robberies while Detroit had 164
murders and 615 robberies.
The difference in the crime rate can
be laid to the courts he contended
because a person sommitting a crime
in England or Canada is convicted and
punished within three weeks time. In
America trial is delayed and drawn
out for months and sometimes even
years and that a life sentence means
only ten years with parole and freedom to continue a criminal life at the
end of that period.
"We are too lenient in our courts
and our parole boards are responsible
for hardened criminals going free after a few years in prison," Mr. Bingham stated. "Seventy percent of
crime is committed by youth between
tlie ages of 17 and 22.
On the economic side Mr.. Bingham
indorsed the city manager form of
government and cited conditions in
Cincinnati and Saginaw, Mich., where
this form of government has lowered
taxes, made police, fire, etc.,. conditions the finest in the country.
Menace Is Communism
Scanning the labor problem Mr.
Bingham feels that communism is
America's greatest menace.
"We say it can't happen here," he
said, "but it is happening in every
large city, college and wherever it
can get a footing. We must labor for
the ideals' of Americanism. Moral integrity, education and Christian service are the noble virtues and high
ideals that we must aspire and work
for."
Mr. Bingham closed his address with
these memorable words:
As We Think We Travel
We are today where our thoughts
have brought us.
We will be tomorrow where our
thoughts take us.
We realize the vision (not the idle
wish) of our hearts, be it base
or beautiful, for we will always
gravitate toward that which we
secretly most love.
We will receive that which w„e earn,
no more, no less. '
Whatever our present environment
may be we will fall, remain or
rise, according to our vision,
our ideal.
We will become as big or as small as
a people, as our dominant aspiration.
